A Kinrosshire brand and marketing agency is targeting significant growth over the next 12 months after a major investment in the business.
Milnathort-based Flintriver worked with Bank of Scotland to release £90,000 of cash for investment in the company’s future.
The money – made available via an invoice finance facility that releases capital tied up in outstanding invoices – has been ploughed into new software and hardware that will help the business to develop its service offering and in an upgrade to its corporate website.
The agency – which has been operating for 15 years and is led by managing director David Williams – has recently moved to appoint Carrie-Anne Stuart as new business development manager and it will be her responsibility to push forward on the company’s regional growth strategy.
The short-term target she has been set is to increase sales by a fifth in the coming 12 month period.
The company already has a strong roster of clients including St Andrews Links Trust, the University of St Andrews, Fife Council and NHS Fife – but Ms Stuart said there were many further opportunities out there for Flintriver.
“It’s an exciting time to join the business,” she said.
“ The programme of improvements we are undertaking will allow us to continue to provide an efficient and comprehensive design service to our longstanding clients and help us build for the future.”
Adam Rintoul, relationship manager at Bank of Scotland, said Flintriver had good potential for growth
“Flintriver has established itself as one of the region’s most respected branding and digital marketing agencies,” Mr Rintoul said.
“It has been a valued customer of ours since it was founded in 2001, and we’re very pleased to be able to provide it with a bespoke funding package specifically tailored to the businesses growth ambitions.”
